I am free any weekend in August. Bellaitalia (Sarah), it seems, will be in the BXL area one of those weekends, but I'm not sure which one.

When are you all free? What area would be convenient to meet? I propose either: Fontainbleau, Pfalz (again... it was a great atmosphere there!), Cologne/K÷ln (since we have some new climbing buddies there who can show us around), Strasburg (will I ever spell it right?), Belgium, or somewhere in England (since tickets are always cheap with Ryanair... but some of us have visa issues there so I dunno).

that would be nice, what about somewhere near munich/Innsbruck - i believe there is also good climbing there...? Or maybe Switzerland - Interlaken area, can stay at Grindenwald - Alpine, bouldering and crags, everything there? I'm more or less free all w-ends as well, although probably not for aug 15th as it's 4 days and i might dare another crazy outing of mine then...

Since we have some new people and some old ideas there... how about the Czech sandstone or one of the areas Tom mentioned?

I'd be in for almost anything but we must keep in mind that flights are just cheap if booked in time. I checked flights for 'bleau early August and they were over 200Ç - too much for my party-weightend finances...

Come here, your are welcome.Whos vegetarian? How many steaks you like for breakfast?Call me Mom. Firs weekend in September or last in August will be in da alps.I must ask Ja_nina :oops: And is Mountainering film festival in Teplice nad MetujÝ last weekend in Aug. AdrÜpach is there (but this area can scary even experienced sandstone climber!Vertical cracks, really damn hard.But festival is always fine)

I'd LOVE the area north of Innsbruck of course, it's not so far to drive for me and the Wetterstein alpine sport routes are well-known for their beauty. Plus, it's not so hot up there. Pfalz, Strasbourg etc. are all still in full summer, i.e. 35 degrees and climbing impossible.

August? Just come! You are welcome... it would be great if you find any another weekend than the last one :arrow: I have reservation for funtom for one week (26.8. to 3.9.) He is my leader on the rope and mum rest of a day :wink:
